7th Annual ABC Craft Championships

While college debt is rising, the construction industry in Oregon and SW Washington is booming! Apprenticeship allows recent graduates to enter a career right out of high school. Graduates from our program earn upwards of $60,000 annually and leave campus debt-free. This is why we are passionate about getting students into the trades!

Many have never seen, let alone experienced what the construction trades have to offer. The Craft Championship is an incredible opportunity for everyone to see construction in action and to witness what the future could hold for them. We would love to partner with you to inspire the next generation of craft professionals.
